Wooden hatten (l, which is concealed from View nd secured in place by a steel bandH. vThe steel hand H is astenedin place by means of bol s H', the heads L of which are let into flaring' holes' k so es to be flush 60 with the out=r surface of the band, and the bolts are .seemed hv nuts 7a2 which engage the rea? surface of the eaves plate. This construction and'. i ngement of parts, provides; the car roof with e covering` which is an insulator' of heat end of electricity, and with outer canvas or other flexible cover- 'ing whieh is secured -nplace in such manner will permit of its ready renewal and the substitution of a nev-covering therefor- The eaves plate B is secured at its upper to the head of the T-bar by means of es paesine through the upwardly proiaoges and the bottom of therecess F of the eaves plate and the head of the T-hnr.

This eonstrxction prevents the ingress of mln or alr or dust into the ear' between the upper sash and sides of the ear, and constitutes a neat and finished appearance andan economical and elcent construction of parts. 95

n the modified construction illustrated in 5 and erthe eaves nlate B is provided at upper end with a Zband which forms an upwardly projecting flanve K which is riveted to the head of the 'bar and to which 100 is riveted the lower edge of the steel plate roof C, Eetween the lower edUe of the layer D 'of cork and the shnlder of the eaves plate is inserted e rectngular-Wooden batten G which s-seeuredin place by bolts or rivets not shown. A steel band H covers and conceals the `Wooden hatten and is secured thereto by the screws p. The lower edge of tneeaves plate is curved inwardly a. short distance eed has secured thereto an angle R, which forms a pocket for the upper edge of the stationary sash. The eaves plate is connected to the T-bar by means of a U- shaped bracket S which is riveted to the T-bar and the flanges of which are riveted to the eaves plate.

It is evident that Sii-ghi Changes might be made in the relative arrangement of the parts and in the details of construction without departing from the spirit of my invention and hence I do not' restrict myself to the exact construction and arrangement of parts shown and described, but

Having fully described my invention what I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters-Patent, is:

1. In a steel car, the combination with T- bars forming the vertical posts of the car sides, of an eaves plate shaped at its lower edge to form a pocket for the stationary sash of the window and flanged plates or brackets interposed between and riveted lto the T- bars and eaves plate,'substantially as setr forth.

2. In a steel car, the combination with the upright steel 'posts which support the roof and sides ofl the car and also form' side frames for the windowl sash, of an eaves plate shaped at its lower end to form a pocket lfor the upper edge of the stationary sash of the Window, and brackets interposed between and riveted to the T-bars and eaves plate substantially as set forth. y

3. In a steel passenger car the combination with the car framing, of an eaves plate bent inwardly at its upper edge to engage and be secured to-said framing and projecting at its lower edge from said framing so l CHARLES H. ANDERSON.
